Corona is about tool integration. It Corona will enable Eclipse constructs, such as a "project", to be shared in a distributed environment. Corona will provide an Eclipse based server-side runtime environment that will provide web service access to allow manageability to SOA components deploy within Corona.

+

Examples of collaboration context include:

+

* Data Collaboration

+

** Data containers (e.g. database)

+

** Web services

+

** Messaging

+

* Workgroup Collaboration

+

** Eclipse Team framework

+

** Eclipse Communication Framework

+

*** Instant Messaging

+

+

As the Tools Services Framework, Corona provides an Eclipsed based server-side environment to host tools server-side components. This provides the platform for a tool to manage their collaboration context within a distributed environment.

*Establish a collaboration event model used to propagate events across multiple Workbench instances.

+

** Provide manageability of component and resources

−

*Implement a mechanism for harvesting component and artifact relationships from collaboration events.

+

* Provide a context for collaboration within a distributed workgroup environment

−

*Provide manageability of component and resources used within the Corona framework.

+

** Distributed Event Model

+

* Provide a SDK for create Corona hosted plug-ins

Incubation Phase

Corona Project - Tools Services Framework

Corona is the Eclipse Tools Services Framework that enables collaboration of people and/or software components. Collaboration is the process of two or more entities working together for a common goal. Collaboration occurs within a context of a container used to host the collaboration.

Examples of collaboration context include:

Data Collaboration

Data containers (e.g. database)

Web services

Messaging

Workgroup Collaboration

Eclipse Team framework

Eclipse Communication Framework

Instant Messaging

As the Tools Services Framework, Corona provides an Eclipsed based server-side environment to host tools server-side components. This provides the platform for a tool to manage their collaboration context within a distributed environment.

Provide a context for collaboration within a distributed workgroup environment

Distributed Event Model

Provide a SDK for create Corona hosted plug-ins

Notes

An update to project proposal is being drafted. The intent is to establish an Eclipse server-side platform that provides a consistent development and deployment model that is compatible with the RCP paradigm. The proposal is based upon the merger of the Eclipse Gyrex and Corona projects.
